We can do a little or the lot

Our revolutionary downsizing, sellers advocacy, pre sale house preparation service provides peace of mind, invaluable support, and maximises your return. From minor tweaks to full-scale property transformations, we’ve got you covered.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find another company out there like utterDECLUTTER. They packed, stored, and moved the contents of the entire home. It was a mammoth task, and Daniel and his team were so helpful and compassionate every step of the way. Nothing was too difficult; we could not have done it without them.

Downsizing | Deceased Estate Property Management | Relocation and Removing | Decluttering and Organizing

My sister and I were overwhelmed with the task of preparing our parents' home for sale. The team decluttered, painted some rooms, gave the house a wash and cleaned the windows. Daniel helped me make the decision on what agent to use to sell the home and he recommended a buyers agent to help me buy a new home.

Expert property agent selection

Choosing the right real estate agent is crucial. We know which agents excel in your area and for your home, ensuring your property is in the best possible hands.

They were total lifesavers. I had to sell my aunt's apartment after her dementia diagnosis. They cleared the clutter, sold furniture, arranged repairs and even helped me find the best real estate agent that they had worked with before

Real estate insights

Our property analysis focuses on what buyers want, giving your home a competitive edge in the market. We ensure every decision aligns with current trends to achieve maximum appeal.

Daniel gave some well thought out tips when selling our family home in Strathfield. We had a great agent working for us but Daniel’s Seller advocacy service was fabulous. It was great to have Daniel on our side to offer advice from a different perspective to the selling agent. The house sold in excess of $5,000,000 with Daniel’s assistance and brilliant tips

Our tailored approach ensures you get the best return on your investment. We help you prioritise house improvements that add the most value to your property.

I didn't realise there was a business out there like utterDECLUTTER that does everything for you. Not only do they remove the clutter but they do everything from start to finish including helping retain an estate agent. The team supported us during the selling period

Unbiased advice

We work solely for you, offering honest, transparent guidance at every step. 

Daniel’s knowledge of the real estate market and processes is excellent, particularly important given the nature of the industry. Best of all we interviewed multiple estate agents and even after selecting an agent, Daniel found he wasn’t up to the task! The agent just wasn’t motivated enough. Daniel interviewed a further group of agents and assisted with negotiating terms and sales marketing options. We are very happy with the agent selected and are hoping for the best outcome possible. I believe we are set up to succeed!

A Note From The Founder About DOWNSIZING by utterDECLUTTER

My journey has been shaped by family values and on-the-job experience. Growing up as the ninth of ten children, I learned the importance of hard work, resilience, and connection. Early memories of accompanying my father, a dentist and entrepreneur, to his properties taught me the value of relationships and pride in one’s work. His foresight and ability to think outside the square inspired me in my business.

As a teenager, I started a lawn mowing business, gaining a strong work ethic. After finishing school in 1989, I began work as an unpaid intern at Raine & Horne Commercial CBD, quickly advancing to Property Manager and obtaining my real estate licence. I later joined my family’s property development group, where 17 years of diverse challenges honed my skills for my next venture.

Today, as the founder of DOWNSIZING by utterDECLUTTER, I draw on those experiences to help clients, especially older Australians, navigate the major transition of downsizing. We combine compassion, practicality, and expertise to prepare homes for sale. From decluttering and repairs to styling and seller advocacy, we aim to make the process stress-free and maximise market potential.

What drives me is helping people achieve their property goals while honouring values of hard work, family, and community. Each step of my journey has led to my mission of empowering others during one of life’s big transitions.

We have a team of over 30 trusted and reliable trades people that can tackle utterlyANYTHING to get your house ready to sell.

James and Jacob worked efficiently, communicated well, were polite and friendly and gave great advice. They were quick, diligent workers and took all the stress out of my decluttering task. I had secral rooms of under house belongings, rubbish and materials. It was all sorted, cleared and cleaned in no time.

Daniel and his team were simply wonderful helping me move to a retirement place. I am an elderly woman and I would never have managed without them. I can’t speak to highly of their work ethics and I highly recommend them in every aspect.

I have dealt with Daniel and the team on numerous occasions for some property cleaning & decluttering services before taking some commercial properties to market for sale & lease. They have always been easy to deal with, communicate with, always on time & I would highly recommend their services.

Highly recommend. The team moved my 83 year old aunt into Arcare Warriewood. We used the sellers advocate team and guided us through the selling process. The agent they recommended was fantastic and he went above and beyond. Would definitely use the sellers advocate service again. A new and improved way to sell a house. 🏠

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Daniel when he came to pick up my mum's lounge for donation to a charity. From the moment he arrived, Daniel showed great sensitivity and kindness towards my mum, making her feel comfortable throughout the process. He was incredibly fast and efficient in handling the furniture, ensuring everything was done promptly without any hassle.

Dealing with Daniel was an absolute pleasure, and his professionalism was evident in every aspect. I would highly recommend Daniel and Downsizing by utterDECLUTTER.

Hello Sonia, Than you so much for your kind words. The charity were so happy to receive the beautiful cane sofa bed. Thanks again. Daniel at the utterTEAM

The DOWNSIZING team had amazing tips on how to spend money wisely when preparing my parents’ home for sale. Daniel’s painter was outstanding — while a real estate agent’s painter recommended repainting the entire interior, Daniel’s painter did strategic touch-ups inside and out, and the house looked brand new. My parents were thrilled with the result. On top of that, the agent Daniel recommended was textbook perfect — professional, efficient, and she achieved an outstanding result.

Hello Ali, Thank you so much for your kind words and we look forward to helping you in the future should you or a friend need our services. Daniel

As a real estate agent, I work with a lot of people looking to downsize. Honestly, Daniel and the team are the go-to. They make things super easy and take a lot of the stress off the owners, which is huge when you're making that kind of move. If you're thinking about downsizing, it’s a no-brainer — these are the people you want in your corner.
